Mem Fox

My favorite
children's book author from Australia, Mem Fox, doubts she'll ever visit
our country again. On her way to Milwaukee to address a convention she and a room-full of travelers were detained at LAX for visa checks. She said the border agents acted as if they'd been given "turbocharged
power" by the president's executive order.

Afterward she said, "I have never in my life been spoken to with such insolence, treated
with such disdain, with so many insults and with so much gratuitous
impoliteness."
